Welcome to the Q&A Forum

1. It depends on how many links you are going to get for your sponsorship/s

2. yes it will pass, if followed

If there are not hundreds of links, then it should be safe for you, but see at google's official view:

Paid links

Google and most other search engines use links to determine reputation. A site's ranking in Google search results is partly based on analysis of those sites that link to it. Link-based analysis is an extremely useful way of measuring a site's value, and has greatly improved the quality of web search. Both the quantity and, more importantly, the quality of links count towards this rating.

However, some SEOs and webmasters engage in the practice of buying and selling links that pass PageRank, disregarding the quality of the links, the sources, and the long-term impact it will have on their sites. Buying or selling links that pass PageRank is in violation of Google's Webmaster Guidelines and can negatively impact a site's ranking in search results.

Not all paid links violate our guidelines. Buying and selling links is a normal part of the economy of the web when done for advertising purposes, and not for manipulation of search results. Links purchased for advertising should be designated as such. This can be done in several ways, such as:

• Adding a rel="nofollow" attribute to the <a>tag</a>
  <a>* Redirecting the links to an intermediate page that is blocked from search engines with a robots.txt file</a>

<a></a>

<a>Google works hard to ensure that it fully discounts links intended to manipulate search engine results, such as excessive link exchanges and purchased links that pass PageRank. If you see a site that is buying or selling links that pass PageRank,</a> let us know. We'll use your information to improve our algorithmic detection of such links.

hi

most of these notice are relating to your comment system and not to the robots.txt file.

If you have 'no follow' active, that means for search engine robots: not to follow links!

If that's the only issue and was intentionally, then the notice can be ignored.

the example below reveals that all your comments are set to "no follow".

example page -comment: http://www.jobshadow.com/interview-with-a-neurosurgeon/#comment-4168

the html source:

<span class="<a class="attribute-value">comment_time</a>"><a href="[#comment-4268](view-source:http://www.jobshadow.com/interview-with-a-neurosurgeon/#comment-4268)" 
title="<a class="attribute-value">Permalink to this comment</a>" _**rel="<a class="attribute-value">nofollow</a>">**_April 29, 2012 at 4:19 pma>span>

sometimes less is more and you might want to check your low domain authority links!

and remember Goggle does not care how the site looks it only cares for  text and links.

You can learn from your competitors, do you want to!?

try google >> -inlink seomoz.org -site:seomoz.org

hi

if you want your site indexed on google.fr then leave it with french, but if you want both, so with englisch translation and on google.com, then I'd suggest the following structure:

www.site.fr/nourriture & www.site.fr/en/food

it's up to you in which language you create your site... Google does not care, they can translate

cheers

Or try RSS into your personal site:-)

Taysir,

here you are:

http://drupal.org/project/seo_checklist or nodewords as above

here's link to the modules related to seo.

http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=drupal_core%3A87%20bs_project_sandbox%3A0&solrsort=sis_project_release_usage%20desc&text=seo

for further info look here: http://drupal.org/documentation

I agree with Ben on managing 3 sites if it is the same content or products|services.

There are other possible solution, which will depend on:

1.Do you sell the same products/services on each domain?

Yes: Well you can do that, without any issues, but if the content is duplicate and you are going to link all 3 domains together, can and possibly will cause issues.

No: Then, there's nothing to be worried about "cross sell on 3 domains".

There are other possibility's, which only you can answer, that is why it's always a good idea to provide more info when asking for input!

Identify and actively report those sites/links to Google.

Here are some links to help understand and to report your issues:

Here's a link to the validator on W3.org: http://validator.w3.org/ . Run your site through.

I haven't come across the ID tag for the head attributes yet, nor has W3.org.

The CMS might me miss-configured or has a bug!

You have started at the right spot here at SEOmoz.org

some links to consider:

http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo

http://www.seomoz.org/q

http://www.seomoz.org/community

There are so many highly skilled people here who are willing to help, but the basics should be done with your own motivation and efforts.

When it comes to the stage where you have more detailed questions, you'll be amazed the feedback you'll get here at SEOmoz.

have fun:-)

The content is the important part here, it does not matter how many different domains with how many different templates (themes) you want to work with, but it does if you have the same content on many domains!

Google does not care how your site/s look and how many templates you've used.

Link farming could be added to the list as well. Check your low PA & DA links!

a quick search in google with "site:storagesanangelo.com" will give you a list off all pages that Google has already in the index!

At the moment you have 62 results for the storageangelo site

first, I'd go with the focus on what are the kids in need searching for?!

second, yeah add that keyword as well.

if the agency provides their services at specific location mix your keywords with the locations (tags)

I am not sure if it's possible with the publishing system you are working with, but there are CMS systems on the market who have solved this issue.

They have done the following approach:

Create your main Article, Blog etc., tag them with your keywords and on your keyword page show the Article content as a teaser with a ''Read More" link to the full content page.

This is not considered as duplicate content!

Hope this helps!

Those are so named IDN domains, but more to worry about the usage and how to stop them,right?!

So actually**, they are the reason for the drop, as they are spam link farms!**

Not much chance to stop them doing it, but making sure Search Engines realize you are aware of it and doing something against it!

This discussions and general info might help you, as others were fighting with similar or same problems too:

which version of Drupal are you using and which module for metatags ?

here are the links to the module pages:

D7 - http://drupal.org/project/metatags_quick & http://drupal.org/project/metatag

D6 - http://drupal.org/project/nodewords

Depending on which module you use, there are some settings that you can set for all pages,which could be the reason why the canonical is set for every page.

The documentation pages or the readme does provide information how-to setup each module.

Here's some suggestion you might want to consider:

http://www.junair.com.au/spray-booth-products/   >> leads to 404 page, after visiting the 3rd level links , when you click on this link again doesn't work.maybe some miss-configurations there to solve.

The menu links beneath /spray-booth-products are leading to the root of your domain.you might consider to move them into a sub-folder structure.

In general I'd suggest to check your menu and usability structure.

Everything else looks to be seo optimized, but maybe you have been hit by Over-optimization????
